Chapter Fourteen
Hailey awoke when she felt a cold draft hit her backside.
She lifted off of Adam’s chest enough to turn her head to find Drew’s side of the bed empty.
She slid from under Adam’s arm and then scooted off the bed, picked up one of the guys’ discarded shirts, and buttoned it as she went in search of him.
She checked every room upstairs. She started down the stairs, determined to find him. At the bottom, she noticed the front door was cracked open and headed that way.
Drew’s head jerked toward the screen door as Hailey pushed it open and slipped out onto the porch.
“Are you all right, Drew?”
“Go on to bed, Hailey. I’ll be there shortly.”
Hailey’s back stiffened as a sliver of sorrow hit something inside of her chest at the harsh tone of his voice. She tried not to let it get to her. Adam had told her about the bad nights Drew had had since he’d been home.
“Did you have another nightmare?”
Drew grunted and leaned back in the porch swing, using his bare foot to keep it rocking a bit. “It’s nothing. I don’t want you to worry about it.”
Hailey crossed her arms as she tried to see his expression in the shadows. “I want to hel—”
“You can’t!” He bit out roughly.
Hailey gasped and took a shocked step back. Her first inclination was to turn and run. She didn’t know how to handle the cold, angry man sitting in front of her. The man who had become an integral part of her marriage and family.
“I see. I’m sorry I bothered you,” she whispered and turned. She hadn’t made it to the door before she heard his words.
“What do you see?” he asked curiously.
Hailey drew in a shaky breath. “I’m good enough to fuck and feed you, but you don’t think I’m smart enough or tough enough to talk to me like an adult.” She kept her face turned away as she continued toward the door and started to pull it open.
“Don’t, Hailey. Come here,” Drew murmured gently, and held out a hand. “Please,” he said when she stayed still.
She paused for a moment. She took a breath to steady her heart that galloped in her chest, turned, and walked back to him.
He pulled her down into his arms and arranged her sidewise on his lap with her head tucked under his chin, and his arms a tight band around her. “I’m sorry. You don’t deserve my anger.”
Hailey raised her hand and slowly traced the harsh contours of his face. “I want to help.”
“I don’t know what you can do, baby, besides be here. That means more to me than anything, and I honestly think it keeps me from losing it sometimes.”
“We won’t let you lose anything. You have a family that lov ... cares about you very much.”
Drew tilted her chin up with the side of his hand. “Do you love me, Hailey?” he asked.
Hailey couldn’t ignore the need he tried to hide. Yes, she was taking a chance because she still wasn’t 100% sure he was going to stay with them, but it might help him to know how much she cared.
She cupped his cheek. “Yes, I do. Very much.”
“Do you think you’d be able to love me as much as you do my brother?”
She nodded slowly. “I’m already close. I’ve only ever loved Adam.
I came to him a virgin, and I thought he’d be the only man to touch me, but I can’t see my life without you, Drew.
You’re already an integral part of me. My love for you is soul deep, just like your brother.
I’m terrified I’m going to give my whole self to you, and you’re going to leave me.
I won’t be able to stand it. You’ll break more than my heart. ”
Drew caught her hand and brought it up to his mouth, where he placed a kiss. “I’m not going to leave, baby. My home is here. My family is here.”
Hailey grinned. “You’re damn right it is.”
Drew grunted but grinned. “I thought we already talked about your language, kitten?”
“I guess you’re just going to have to punish me,” she said, and giggled.
Drew lifted her and set her facing him with her legs on either side of his hips. He slowly unbuttoned the shirt she wore and pulled it down her arms. He pulled his cock from his boxers, lifted her, and impaled her with one strong thrust, making them both cry out.
Drew’s head dropped back, and his eyes slid shut. “Fuck, I’ve never felt anything as good as the tight hold you have on my dick.” He bent and took her lips fiercely. “God, I can’t get enough of you.”
Her grip around his neck tightened. “Oh, God, Drew. Please.”
“Please what, kitten?”
Hailey tightened her pussy, making them both groan harshly out into the night. “Let me come,” she begged.
“Oh, you’re going to come, baby. A few times before I let you go back to sleep.”
Her forehead flailed against his chest. “I won’t be able to stand it.”
“Yes, you will. You’ll take everything I give you. Won’t you, kitten? And you’ll love every bit of it.”
Hailey shivered at the dark honey tone of his voice. She nodded and pressed her lips against the tight tendon in his neck and bit down.
“Oh, Jesus,” Drew roared, and then tightened his grip on her hips and pulled her down hard, grunting at the impact. “You’ll pay for that. You’re trying to make me lose control,” he accused.
“I ... yes, Drew. Please.”
Drew picked up the pace. Lifting her and bringing her down quickly on his cock. “Come for me now, sweetheart.”
Hailey scrunched her eyes closed and mewed deep in her throat when she felt a ball of hunger so vast it took her thoughts.
She couldn’t make a sound except for the whimper against his neck.
Her pussy tightened unbearably, until she thought she’d go mad.
She heard him grunt, and at the same time, she cried out, then the bubble burst and let her fly.
They clung and murmured to each other as they came down, never letting go of their tight grip on each other.
Neither saw the shadow on the other side of the screen door.
****
Adam quietly turned with a grin as the two most important people in the world to him were bonding and cementing their love for each other.
He grimaced as he adjusted his cock. As much as he wanted to join them and sink into his loving wife, they needed time alone.
He grunted when he heard Hailey cry out in ecstasy again, and he imagined Drew starting all over and plunging his cock deep into their woman.
Adam shook his head. It was time for a cold shower, he thought, as he made his way back up the stairs to the bedroom to wait for the other two.
They had the rest of their lives together, and he didn’t want to push her anymore tonight. They’d had some intense sex between the three of them, and she would be sore in the morning.
One beautiful day at a time. That’s all he could ask for.
